I was invited to interview in McKinsey Operations as a Specialist. I hear McKinsey Specialists make less than Associates, but would I be ballpark if I ask $140k? I’m in Houston and average Associate pay here per Glassdoor is $168k before bonus.

It’s been a few years since I interviewed but salary should be close to associate salary and definitely over 140k.

I have a job interview today that I’m actually nervous about. That’s a good sign right? All my other ones I was dreading or just wanted to skip.

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
